eBook Description:

Pragmatic Microservices with C# and Azure: Build, deploy, and scale microservices efficiently to meet modern software demands. Unlock efficiency in software development by learning microservices with C# and Azure.

This Pragmatic Microservices with C# and Azure book introduces .NET Aspire and its features for developing microservices. It delves into defining an app model for an application’s services, using service discovery, and integrating components locally and via native cloud services with Azure. It offers practical insights and hands-on experience, exploring microservices concepts in ASP.NET Core.

You’ll learn how to develop robust services using .NET features such as minimal APIs, gRPC, and SignalR for real-time communication. The book also covers essential aspects of DevOps, testing methodologies including unit, integration, and load testing, and logging and monitoring including OpenTelemetry using tools such as Azure Log Analytics, Application Insights, Prometheus, and Grafana. You’ll understand how asynchronous communication leveraging queues and events is facilitated through Azure Event Hub and Apache. Throughout the book, you’ll not only discover the theoretical aspects but also gain practical skills by building and deploying a fully functional microservices-based application.

• Understand microservices architecture benefits
• Utilize the cloud-ready .NET Aspire stack along with its associated tools and libraries
• Develop REST APIs with ASP.NET Core minimal APIs
• Implement database integration with relational and NoSQL databases
• Containerize microservices using Docker
• Deploy microservices to the Azure Container Apps environment and Kubernetes
• Configure logging, monitoring, and tracing for microservices
• Use advanced communication patterns with SignalR, gRPC, queues, and events

By the end of this Pragmatic Microservices with C# and Azure book, you’ll have a deep understanding of microservices architecture, hands-on experience with various .NET technologies and Azure services, and the ability to design, build, deploy, and manage microservices applications effectively in both on-premises and cloud environments.
